Here is a full list of winners from last night’s Grammys

As the years have gone by, the reputation of the Grammys as the biggest night in music has received considerable scrutiny. Particularly the award ceremony’s long-standing problem with people of colour and hip-hop was one of the major talking points leading up to this year’s Grammys.

At the award ceremony, while giving an acceptance speech for his award for “God’s Plan” as Best Rap Song, Drake took the stage to voice some of these opinions, saying “The point is, you’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you’re a hero in your hometown,” he continued. “Look, look, if there’s people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard-earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this [award] right here. I promise you, you already won.”

The rest of the night was notably controversy-free, save for Soweto Gospel robbing Seun Kuti, Fatoumata Diawara and others for Best World Music category. Elsewhere Kacey Musgraves, Golden Hour took home the ‘Album of the Year’ award, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper scored the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ and ‘Best Song Written For Visual Media’ award for their song “Shallow,” from Cooper’s directorial debut, A Star Is Born , while Childish Gambino bagged ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Best Music video’.
